- Event
The fall
Tempted by the serpent, the woman and the man ate from the one tree God had forbidden. Shame, blame, and curse followed, and they were sent out of the garden. In the same scene God spoke the first promise: the offspring of the woman would crush the serpent's head.

The covenant with Abraham
God bound Himself by covenant to Abram: descendants as many as the stars, a land for them, and an everlasting relationship in which God would be their God. Abram believed, and it was credited to him as righteousness. God later gave him the name Abraham and the sign of circumcision.
Focus this layer - Person
Abraham
Abraham, first called Abram, was the patriarch whom God called out of Ur to a land He would show him, promising him descendants, a great name, and blessing for all the families of the earth. Genesis says he believed God and it was credited to him as righteousness.

Promise and fulfillment
Promise and fulfillment is the pattern by which the New Testament reads the Old: God speaks in advance through prophets, patterns, and covenants, and the Gospels show those words coming true in Jesus. FaithGraph labels each such link by the kind of evidence behind it.
Focus this layer - Event
Creation
In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth, ordered the world by His word, and made humanity, male and female, in His own image to rule and care for it. The New Testament adds that everything was made through the Word who became flesh in Jesus.
Focus this layer - Person
Adam
Adam was the first human being, formed by God from the dust of the ground and placed in the garden of Eden to work and keep it. With Eve he disobeyed God's one command and was sent out of the garden. Genesis, Luke's genealogy, and Paul's letters all treat him as the head of the human family.
Focus this layer - Person
Eve
Eve was the first woman, made by God from Adam's side as his partner and named by him because she would be the mother of all the living. Deceived by the serpent, she ate the forbidden fruit and gave it to her husband. God's promise that her offspring would crush the serpent is spoken in her hearing.
Focus this layer - Place
Eden
Eden was the garden God planted in the east and where He placed the first humans, with the tree of life at its center. After the fall, God sent the man and woman out and set cherubim to guard the way back to the tree of life.
Focus this layer - Theme
Sacrifice and atonement
Sacrifice and atonement is the biblical pattern by which sin is covered and fellowship with God restored through a life given in place of the guilty. From the garments of skin in Eden and the ram in place of Isaac to the Passover lamb and the offerings of the law, the Old Testament teaches that without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness. The New Testament proclaims that Jesus offered Himself once for all.

The Passover and the exodus
On the night God struck down the firstborn of Egypt, every Israelite household sheltered behind the blood of a lamb on its doorframe, and God passed over them. Pharaoh released the people, and when his army pursued them God parted the sea so Israel crossed on dry ground.
Focus this layer - Theme
Covenant
A covenant is a binding relationship God establishes with people by promise. Scripture traces covenants with Noah, Abraham, Israel at Sinai, and David, and the prophets foretell a new covenant that Jesus inaugurates with His blood at the Last Supper.
Focus this layer - Person
David
David was the shepherd from Bethlehem who became Israel's second king. God promised him a house and a throne that would endure forever, and many psalms are attributed to him. The Gospels present Jesus as the Son of David, the promised heir to that throne.
Focus this layer - Person
Jacob
Jacob was the younger twin son of Isaac, grandson of Abraham, who received the birthright and blessing and was renamed Israel after wrestling with God. His twelve sons became the tribes of Israel, and in old age he brought the whole family down to Egypt.
Focus this layer - Person
Jesus
Jesus of Nazareth is the center of the Christian faith and of FaithGraph. The Gospels present Him as the promised Messiah of Israel, the eternal Word made flesh, who taught, healed, was crucified under Pontius Pilate, rose bodily on the third day, and commissioned His followers to carry the good news to all nations.
Focus this layer - Person
Noah
Noah was the righteous man whom God chose to preserve life through the flood. He built an ark at God's command, brought his family and the animals inside, and after the waters receded received God's covenant never again to destroy the earth by flood, sealed by the rainbow.
Focus this layer - Event
The exile and the return
Babylon burned the temple and carried Judah into exile, apparently ending the line of David. Jeremiah had promised that after seventy years God would bring the people back, and the decree of Cyrus of Persia opened the way home and the rebuilding of the temple.
Focus this layer - Person
Isaiah
Isaiah was the prophet in Jerusalem during the reigns of Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah whose book the New Testament quotes more than any other prophet. His oracles of the virgin's son, the light in Galilee, the Spirit-anointed preacher, and the suffering servant are read by the Gospels as fulfilled in Jesus.
